Rosie & Alex's Real Wedding

*Benjamin Roberts Bride of the Month, November 2010*

Rosie and Alex planned a fabulous winter wedding with the help of their family in December 2009. 100 guests were invited to witness their church ceremony and be entertained afterwards at the stunning Cleeve House in Wiltshire.

Alex proposed to Rosie outside Buckingham Palace just 1 year and 10 months after having met at a local bar. Alex and Rosie chose a ring together in Hatton Garden and planned a traditional church ceremony surrounded by family and close friends. The couple found an exclusive use reception venue that offered them the freedom to decorate how they wished, with plenty of bedrooms and a late drinks license so they were able to party late into the night.

Rosie’s dad had been told he had cancer which would require an intensive course of chemotherapy just weeks before the wedding, but he refused to have the treatment until after the occasion so he was well enough to enjoy every aspect of the day and look well in the pictures. The couple were so thankful that Rosie's dad was able to celebrate with them through out the day!
